The Source has admitted to making some poor decisions over the year when it comes to rating albums, and they have done something to correct it. They have decided to open up the vaults and give out the once illustrious 5 mic rating to deserving albums. For the most part they are right, there are a few that don’t belong and a few that are still missing (ATLiens, Dr Octagonecolygest, Ironman).
